Automate or Die! My next talk at RootedCON 2017 in Madrid

Regardless I’ve given many talks in Spain during the last 18 years, It has been a while since I don’t do a talk in a security congress. I think last time was NcN when I presented phpRADmin in 2006.

I have to confess that I was mad to talk at RootedCON. Living abroad for more than four years now, the RootedCON has been a reference event for Spanish speakers and I always have been following it very closely, I think it is one of the most popular security conferences in Spain.

Last year I tried to attend with a “Docker Security” paper but it wasn’t good enough, and honestly I didn’t work much on the paper itself. This time I worked on a more decent paper (and better tittle as well) and voila! My talk was approved.

And what I’m gonna talk about? Security in IaaS, attacks, hardening, incident response, forensics and all about its automation. Despite I will talk about general concept related to AWS, Azure and GCP, I will show specific demos and threats in AWS and I will go in detail with some caveats and hazards in AWS. My talk is called “Automate or die! How to survive to an attack in the Cloud” and you have more details here.
